BCC Book Club 2026: National Literary Project with Book Discounts
In 2026, the BCC Book Club will make its return, spearheaded by Gruppo BCC Iccrea as part of the BCC Arte&Cultura initiative. The theme, curated by Massimo Cuomo and Romanzi.it, is "Nascere" (to be born), which explores the essence of life and optimism for the future. Collaborating with BCC banks, 50 bookstores throughout Italy will highlight chosen titles via author events and reading groups. Vouchers for discounted book purchases will be issued by BCC, valid until December 31, 2026, for members, customers, employees, and interested individuals. The initiative encompasses prominent and independent Italian publishers, including Einaudi and Mondadori. Mauro Pastore, director general of Gruppo BCC Iccrea, emphasized that the project aims to engage youth and promote social inclusion through local bookstores.
